1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:12,868 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:22,308 --> 00:00:24,028 Speaker 2: Good Morning Football. 4 00:00:24,268 --> 00:00:26,348 Speaker 3: There were ten spots and now there are none. 5 00:00:26,348 --> 00:00:26,508 Speaker 4: Here. 6 00:00:26,548 --> 00:00:29,188 Speaker 3: They are new faces and new places. I hate that phrase, 7 00:00:29,228 --> 00:00:32,588 Speaker 3: but it actually applies in this spot. Some actual rookie 8 00:00:32,628 --> 00:00:35,748 Speaker 3: head coaches and others we've seen them before. For example, 9 00:00:35,788 --> 00:00:39,028 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy, he returns to his proverbial home in Pittsburgh 10 00:00:39,028 --> 00:00:41,948 Speaker 3: coach and the Steelers. Now, Guys, Mantai, first question, which 11 00:00:41,948 --> 00:00:43,028 Speaker 3: new head coach to you. 12 00:00:43,468 --> 00:00:44,308 Speaker 4: Is most intriguing? 13 00:00:44,548 --> 00:00:46,588 Speaker 5: Well, when I look at that bottom right part of 14 00:00:46,588 --> 00:00:48,668 Speaker 5: that graph and I see Mike McCarthy over there going 15 00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:51,148 Speaker 5: to the Pittsburgh Steelers, that's the most intriguing. 16 00:00:50,748 --> 00:00:51,268 Speaker 6: Hire to me. 17 00:00:51,548 --> 00:00:54,428 Speaker 5: With Mike McCarthy, you have a track record, right, He's 18 00:00:54,468 --> 00:00:57,148 Speaker 5: been a head coach at multiple places. He's had some 19 00:00:57,188 --> 00:00:59,948 Speaker 5: good years, he's had some bad years. But then the 20 00:01:00,028 --> 00:01:02,668 Speaker 5: question is is Aaron Rodgers is going to get back there? 21 00:01:02,748 --> 00:01:05,068 Speaker 5: And you know him and Aaron Rodgers have history, Like, 22 00:01:05,108 --> 00:01:07,308 Speaker 5: how is that dynamic going to work? So when I 23 00:01:07,348 --> 00:01:10,348 Speaker 5: look at Mike McCarthy going to Pittsburgh, he is from Pittsburgh, 24 00:01:10,388 --> 00:01:12,228 Speaker 5: I know that means something special to him as it 25 00:01:12,228 --> 00:01:14,628 Speaker 5: would to me. But when you're sitting in front of 26 00:01:14,628 --> 00:01:17,828 Speaker 5: that locker room, it's another head coach that has the 27 00:01:17,948 --> 00:01:20,268 Speaker 5: experience that I think when you put in from a TJ. 28 00:01:20,468 --> 00:01:22,948 Speaker 5: Watt and and all of those guys that have played 29 00:01:22,948 --> 00:01:25,108 Speaker 5: a lot of football, there is at a level of respect 30 00:01:25,228 --> 00:01:28,308 Speaker 5: and admiration there. But I also think that there was 31 00:01:28,348 --> 00:01:31,348 Speaker 5: an opportunity to bring in somebody who has an unknown 32 00:01:31,388 --> 00:01:34,668 Speaker 5: track worker that could bring some excitement to that locker room. 33 00:01:34,708 --> 00:01:37,148 Speaker 5: So out of all of those hires, Mike g it's 34 00:01:37,188 --> 00:01:39,148 Speaker 5: got to be Mike McCarthy to the Pittsburgh Steelers. 35 00:01:39,188 --> 00:01:41,948 Speaker 7: For me, McCarthy is intriguing because let's see a Steelers 36 00:01:42,028 --> 00:01:44,348 Speaker 7: offense that can put up some points, right, we could 37 00:01:44,388 --> 00:01:46,268 Speaker 7: potentially have that. And I do like the idea of 38 00:01:46,308 --> 00:01:49,068 Speaker 7: a Rogers reunion. To me, I was out on Rogers. 39 00:01:49,068 --> 00:01:52,868 Speaker 7: Now all of a sudden, pull me back in Joe 40 00:01:52,868 --> 00:01:57,308 Speaker 7: Brady to me upper left hand corner. Because he's replacing 41 00:01:57,308 --> 00:01:59,588 Speaker 7: a guy that made the playoffs eight of the last 42 00:01:59,668 --> 00:02:00,788 Speaker 7: nine years. 43 00:02:01,148 --> 00:02:03,708 Speaker 2: You make that move, and I understand why, Like we 44 00:02:03,828 --> 00:02:04,868 Speaker 2: got to get over the hump. 45 00:02:04,908 --> 00:02:09,788 Speaker 7: We're in Josh Allen's prime here. But Joe Brady was 46 00:02:10,508 --> 00:02:13,988 Speaker 7: the young fella that was coming along quick, the next 47 00:02:14,308 --> 00:02:17,268 Speaker 7: young of the next Sean McVay. I don't know why 48 00:02:17,268 --> 00:02:18,948 Speaker 7: I said it in that voice, but it's just not 49 00:02:18,988 --> 00:02:20,428 Speaker 7: my voice because what other people will say. 50 00:02:20,508 --> 00:02:20,588 Speaker 4: Right. 51 00:02:21,268 --> 00:02:22,708 Speaker 2: So, now you've got a partnership with. 52 00:02:22,708 --> 00:02:24,868 Speaker 7: Josh Allen that you know is going to go incredibly 53 00:02:24,868 --> 00:02:27,668 Speaker 7: from that standpoint. But now you're the head coach, and 54 00:02:27,788 --> 00:02:29,508 Speaker 7: how's the rest of the locker room? How's the defense 55 00:02:29,588 --> 00:02:32,628 Speaker 7: going to respond to you? Are you ready for this task? 56 00:02:33,388 --> 00:02:36,348 Speaker 7: This is not oh, make the divisional round, great job 57 00:02:36,388 --> 00:02:39,068 Speaker 7: in your first year, Joe, No, no, no, this is 58 00:02:39,628 --> 00:02:41,708 Speaker 7: win it all and get there soon. 59 00:02:41,868 --> 00:02:44,428 Speaker 2: I am fascinated by the Joe Brady hire. I think 60 00:02:44,468 --> 00:02:46,428 Speaker 2: he's going to do a good job. The question is 61 00:02:46,588 --> 00:02:51,668 Speaker 2: will you do a great job? Who's next? Let you 62 00:02:51,748 --> 00:02:52,148 Speaker 2: know what. 63 00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:55,948 Speaker 1: I was sitting here thinking about Mike's words that was 64 00:02:56,028 --> 00:02:58,388 Speaker 1: that was a forty second pregnant pause. 65 00:03:00,268 --> 00:03:02,348 Speaker 2: I should tell you your past term? Is that what 66 00:03:02,388 --> 00:03:02,788 Speaker 2: they call it? 67 00:03:02,988 --> 00:03:03,348 Speaker 4: Yeah? 68 00:03:04,468 --> 00:03:05,308 Speaker 2: Forty one weeks. 69 00:03:05,948 --> 00:03:07,108 Speaker 6: We're gonna get this baby out. 70 00:03:07,988 --> 00:03:10,148 Speaker 3: Though I thought we were throwing to sound or something, yeah, 71 00:03:13,148 --> 00:03:13,708 Speaker 3: something that. 72 00:03:14,028 --> 00:03:15,348 Speaker 2: I didn't think that for a second. 73 00:03:15,548 --> 00:03:21,148 Speaker 7: I love how you said, who's left. 74 00:03:19,188 --> 00:03:23,108 Speaker 2: The cameraman answer, only your name is left. Well, isn't 75 00:03:23,108 --> 00:03:24,148 Speaker 2: this kind of appropriate? 76 00:03:24,188 --> 00:03:24,708 Speaker 4: Though? Like? 77 00:03:24,788 --> 00:03:26,868 Speaker 1: Oh no, all right, So I'm gonna say Todd Monkin, 78 00:03:26,948 --> 00:03:30,508 Speaker 1: He's gonna make it work, because it's like you're kind 79 00:03:30,508 --> 00:03:32,908 Speaker 1: of waiting around who the Brown's gonna hire? 80 00:03:33,108 --> 00:03:33,668 Speaker 2: Is anyone? 81 00:03:33,788 --> 00:03:36,428 Speaker 1: Does anyone wants to job you? Does anyone want to 82 00:03:36,468 --> 00:03:40,908 Speaker 1: answer this question? Let's go with Kyle's answer, why not? 83 00:03:41,388 --> 00:03:43,708 Speaker 1: I don't want to disparare the Brown door Todd Monkey, Listen, 84 00:03:43,748 --> 00:03:48,348 Speaker 1: it's a heavily weighted job, which with a heavily weighted franchise. 85 00:03:48,788 --> 00:03:51,508 Speaker 2: What like this? This could be cool because he has. 86 00:03:51,508 --> 00:03:53,908 Speaker 1: Been around the block and those offense really well, and 87 00:03:54,508 --> 00:03:56,628 Speaker 1: or it could just be a disaster. We know that 88 00:03:56,668 --> 00:03:59,348 Speaker 1: it's Cleveland. They haven't learned the right to hear anything different. 89 00:03:59,708 --> 00:04:03,668 Speaker 1: Him and Shadur, what is the marriage? Him and Dion? 90 00:04:03,788 --> 00:04:06,028 Speaker 1: What is the It's an interesting thing. You know, he 91 00:04:06,548 --> 00:04:08,468 Speaker 1: meets Shador when he gets the job, and they hung 92 00:04:08,508 --> 00:04:10,748 Speaker 1: it out, and there's this congenial thing where says, we 93 00:04:10,868 --> 00:04:12,948 Speaker 1: tried to draft you in Baltimore, and you hear that 94 00:04:13,148 --> 00:04:15,388 Speaker 1: Shador didn't want to go to Baltimore's didn't want to 95 00:04:15,428 --> 00:04:17,708 Speaker 1: back up Lamar and Shador was in the position in 96 00:04:17,708 --> 00:04:19,948 Speaker 1: the fifth round being like, don't draft you. It's like 97 00:04:20,068 --> 00:04:21,908 Speaker 1: we're in the fifth round, Shador, like we were almost 98 00:04:21,908 --> 00:04:22,428 Speaker 1: done with this thing. 99 00:04:22,468 --> 00:04:23,068 Speaker 6: Are you sure? 100 00:04:23,268 --> 00:04:26,068 Speaker 1: It's a strange backstory, And it's a strange thing because 101 00:04:26,108 --> 00:04:28,548 Speaker 1: it's Cleveland and most of the stuff they do does 102 00:04:28,588 --> 00:04:30,428 Speaker 1: not work. Now I hate to say that, but like, 103 00:04:30,508 --> 00:04:32,748 Speaker 1: tell me differently, this was not the guy at the 104 00:04:32,748 --> 00:04:35,588 Speaker 1: top of anybody's got to have this guy. He doesn't 105 00:04:35,628 --> 00:04:39,588 Speaker 1: win the room. But it's not like this scratching wth 106 00:04:39,708 --> 00:04:43,468 Speaker 1: kind of hire either, tenured, pedigreed guy. I just have 107 00:04:43,588 --> 00:04:45,548 Speaker 1: no idea how this is going to go. Is sh 108 00:04:45,908 --> 00:04:48,148 Speaker 1: gonna start seventeen games next year? Is he gonna start 109 00:04:48,188 --> 00:04:50,228 Speaker 1: three games? I have no clue what they're going to 110 00:04:50,308 --> 00:04:52,588 Speaker 1: do in the draft where they're going to go. I'm so, 111 00:04:52,868 --> 00:04:56,068 Speaker 1: what does it say? Not best hire? Intriguing higher And 112 00:04:56,108 --> 00:04:58,028 Speaker 1: after further delay, I gave you my answer. 113 00:04:58,028 --> 00:04:59,388 Speaker 6: I can't wait for the second tea up. 114 00:05:00,948 --> 00:05:03,588 Speaker 4: I like it. 115 00:05:04,748 --> 00:05:06,108 Speaker 2: Don't play dead air chicken with me. 116 00:05:06,148 --> 00:05:07,868 Speaker 1: I'll see it for sixty straight seconds from. 117 00:05:07,748 --> 00:05:14,668 Speaker 2: Looking at the camera. Man my chee. 118 00:05:14,748 --> 00:05:18,108 Speaker 3: Then Kyle, here's the question, Manta, which new head coach. 119 00:05:18,188 --> 00:05:20,588 Speaker 3: Do you believe is the best position, has the best position. 120 00:05:21,708 --> 00:05:23,588 Speaker 2: He's in the best position to succeed. 121 00:05:24,908 --> 00:05:25,708 Speaker 6: Flustered right now? 122 00:05:25,868 --> 00:05:28,788 Speaker 5: Guys, you know who's somebody who won't be flustered is 123 00:05:28,908 --> 00:05:29,628 Speaker 5: Chimi Stefanski. 124 00:05:29,708 --> 00:05:32,428 Speaker 6: Kim, there's a reason why I wore this shirt on. 125 00:05:32,548 --> 00:05:34,228 Speaker 6: This sweater was cut. 126 00:05:34,468 --> 00:05:37,148 Speaker 5: I really think that Kimi Stefanski going to Atlanta, He's 127 00:05:37,148 --> 00:05:40,828 Speaker 5: set up for success. It's like that, uh, the Transformers movie. 128 00:05:40,828 --> 00:05:43,508 Speaker 5: You know when that old Camaro drives off in that 129 00:05:43,548 --> 00:05:47,948 Speaker 5: tunnel and then it turns into that new Camaro. Like 130 00:05:47,948 --> 00:05:50,628 Speaker 5: like Stefanski just jumped into a new Camaro, a new 131 00:05:50,628 --> 00:05:54,268 Speaker 5: Camaro that got horsepower with Bjehon Robinson, and you got 132 00:05:54,308 --> 00:05:57,748 Speaker 5: a franchise quarterback in Michael Pennix, Drake London, Darnell Mooney. 133 00:05:57,788 --> 00:05:59,788 Speaker 5: They're trying to sign Kyle Pitt's back. The old line 134 00:05:59,828 --> 00:06:02,988 Speaker 5: is set, the defense is young, they're fast. So you 135 00:06:03,108 --> 00:06:08,188 Speaker 5: go into a franchise that just hired Matt Ryan that 136 00:06:08,188 --> 00:06:10,548 Speaker 5: they're trying to get things right. But then the NFC 137 00:06:10,668 --> 00:06:13,148 Speaker 5: soft guys, we all notice it's ope. It's wide open, right, 138 00:06:13,188 --> 00:06:15,788 Speaker 5: So not only just the team you have, the roster 139 00:06:15,948 --> 00:06:19,348 Speaker 5: you have, but you're also going to a division where 140 00:06:19,468 --> 00:06:22,348 Speaker 5: you could make a huge impact and the ability to 141 00:06:22,468 --> 00:06:25,108 Speaker 5: make a huge impact and you're one, especially when you're 142 00:06:25,108 --> 00:06:26,308 Speaker 5: a two time coach of the Year. 143 00:06:26,668 --> 00:06:28,948 Speaker 6: Mike g I gotta go at Kem Supensky. 144 00:06:29,268 --> 00:06:32,268 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that one. Let's see what the quarterback is. 145 00:06:32,308 --> 00:06:34,748 Speaker 7: I'm not ruling out Kirk Cousins potential return to Atlanta. 146 00:06:34,828 --> 00:06:37,308 Speaker 7: We'll see about that. For me, it is John Harvill. 147 00:06:37,388 --> 00:06:39,068 Speaker 7: We just talked about the Giants here and the fact 148 00:06:39,108 --> 00:06:41,548 Speaker 7: that they have added experience to the coaching staff. 149 00:06:41,908 --> 00:06:42,908 Speaker 2: There's talent on this. 150 00:06:42,908 --> 00:06:45,548 Speaker 7: Roster man every time you look at it. When you're 151 00:06:45,588 --> 00:06:49,828 Speaker 7: talking about Andrew Thomas at left tackle, Brian Burns, one 152 00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:52,388 Speaker 7: of the defensive Player of the Year candidates, A'bduil Carter 153 00:06:52,468 --> 00:06:57,428 Speaker 7: who really came on late in this rookie season, Kvon Thibodeau. 154 00:06:56,868 --> 00:06:59,788 Speaker 2: Dexter Lawrence up front, I haven't even gotten the offense yet, 155 00:06:59,868 --> 00:07:00,228 Speaker 2: and the. 156 00:07:00,148 --> 00:07:02,788 Speaker 7: Young promising quarterback of Jackson Dart. It would get us 157 00:07:02,788 --> 00:07:04,748 Speaker 7: to be loving the way that this coaching staff is 158 00:07:04,788 --> 00:07:08,148 Speaker 7: coming together. And then the Tasmanian devil of cam Scataboo 159 00:07:08,148 --> 00:07:11,508 Speaker 7: should be back healthy and wrecking defense is the way 160 00:07:11,508 --> 00:07:13,548 Speaker 7: that he did in his rookie year. Plus you come 161 00:07:13,588 --> 00:07:15,988 Speaker 7: in and you've got the skins on the wall. This 162 00:07:16,028 --> 00:07:17,988 Speaker 7: is not what I talked about with Joe Brady.

Everything was on a car, 188 00:08:10,708 --> 00:08:13,788 Speaker 7: it wasn't computerized, and the cart would trip the next one, 189 00:08:13,828 --> 00:08:16,428 Speaker 7: so you could go to the bathroom.

I I put my stamp 365 00:14:44,188 --> 00:14:47,628 Speaker 5: on Clint Kubiak over there, Jamie Legat, I think I. 366 00:14:47,548 --> 00:14:50,548 Speaker 3: Think there's somebody in this coaching cycle who has so 367 00:14:50,908 --> 00:14:53,508 Speaker 3: admirably kept his mouth shut. 368 00:14:53,228 --> 00:14:54,628 Speaker 2: Over the last couple of years. 369 00:14:54,748 --> 00:14:55,588 Speaker 6: Such I like to say that. 370 00:14:55,748 --> 00:14:57,748 Speaker 3: I think if he goes on the vacation, because he 371 00:14:57,788 --> 00:14:59,868 Speaker 3: has a new job that he's got to be working through, 372 00:14:59,908 --> 00:15:02,148 Speaker 3: so he's gonna be on the whiteboard anyways. If Kevin 373 00:15:02,148 --> 00:15:04,868 Speaker 3: Skavanski didn't tell us what was going on in Cleveland 374 00:15:04,908 --> 00:15:07,308 Speaker 3: when he was in Cleveland, he's certainly not going to 375 00:15:07,388 --> 00:15:09,668 Speaker 3: talk to Kyle on this vacation. And he's got his 376 00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:11,868 Speaker 3: own problems he's got to solve in Atlanta.
